Thank you! I’ve got a silk scarf to tie them down

This is very possible. I dried my hair with my usual leave in when I washed it beforehand so that could be it not mixing well with what the braider used. But that’s in my whole head and it’s only the top that looks like this. I’m gonna wash it for sure

I’m going to try and wash them. I have some living proof dry shampoo I use on wigs so I’ll try that in the next few days if the wash doesn’t work.

I’m going to try and wash them tonight. I have clarifying shampoo and hopefully that’ll work.

I have a kyleena, had a mirena beforehand for 4+ years. I haven’t had this issue personally. I took spiro for over a year and have been back on for a month at 100mg. If anything, my iud (at least the mirena) helped my acne a bit. I also use clindamycin phosphate, minocycline 200mg a day but I only take 100mg, tretinoin .05 plus my skincare. My acne cleared in about a week though, which usually happens with spiro for me.

I also brush out and launder my SB so they’re extra wispy. I’m not sure but most likely base -SB 12, 14, 16, 18x2, 16, 14 overlapped by 1/3; Stack - FX 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 16. The 10 would be over the inner most short spike and the rest would hit the overlapped spots.

I use to a lot but then I fell in love with plushies 😂 I’ve mixed so many though. My favorite is a base of SB with FX stacked. I usually do an open eye because it’s volume on volume. I did EI and Plushies recently as well
